A: Poured a cloudy golden/rich yellow to my Bruery glass. Aggressively carbonated with lasting white bubbles atop my beer.
S: Strong aroma of candy banana, almost like Laffy Taffy. Picking up some coconut, along with sweet Belgian sugar/yeast.
T: More sweetness here. Sweet banana with mango and other fruits. I almost taste a slight bourbon remnant as this beer warms a bit.
M: Fizzy on the mouthfeel with the strong carbonation.
D: Interesting to try. I wonder what time will do to it. Next time I open one I will definitely let it sit and open up a bit first.

Loved this beer. The closest to my favorites I enjoyed while living 4 years in Belgium, and the best tasting beer I have had recently in the USA. If you are into overly hopped beers, this is probably not for you. But if you enjoy good tasting slightly sweet beers this is a must try. It definitely has a light coconut taste at the end.

Outstanding complex nose of light bourbon, hints of oak, soft fruit (pear) that is also a bit tart (orange), and a solid background sweetness (biscuit with very subtle caramel). As it warms, grain alcohol notes are present.

Heavy medium body that is quite smooth. Superb carbonation with an effervescent middle and prickly finish.

While similar to the nose, the flavor profile is less bourbon and oak is merely a hint. Sweetness is well balanced. Spicy notes appear in the middle over a rising wheat influence, as does a bit grain alcohol astringency and associated burn. The finish is a slow fade of the middle with alcohol influences gaining strength.

Poured into an overized wine glass a hazed orange infused copper color with a thin white head atop.Alot of hot booze in the nose along with heavy yeast esters,lingering vanilla and a hint of spiced pears.Really hot at first,it took a few swallows for it to tone down enough for me,vanilla and alot of yeasty notes,faint drying and toasted oak in the finish.A little hot for my liking,it has some rich flavors but they are masked a little by the yeast and big alcohol in my opinion.

poured from aprox 22 oz. bottle into tulip shaped pint glass.... nice initial head but soon disapates with no lacing.... reminds me of an oak aged saison/farmhouse ale... if i was blindfolded i would have bet it was brewed @ ommegang brewery... which in my opinion is a huge compliment...OMMEGANG RULES... a little pricey @ $16.99, but i would buy this again on occasion... very good stuff... but very little bourbon character... a little hot @ 11.5% ABV, but i like that...

This beer surprised the hell out of me. I went over to the Bruery to reserve a bottle or two of Black Tuesday and they had a tasting flight of BT, White Oak and Papier...

The sweet vanilla notes of the bourbon barrel stand out so well in this beer that I swear it tasted like a glazed doughnut. The taste of pear also shines through wonderfully along with some other fruit flavors. Then, the aftertaste of booze finishes out in double time. Good booze.

All and all, I think I have been more impressed with this than any other Bruery beer (other than black tuesday which is made with Narwhal horn, the blood of the last known Mayans, and Panda tears...)

The beer pours a hazy golden color with a large white head. The aroma has a lot of wheat in it, as well as some pepper and bubblegum notes. The flavor is similar but more complex. I get a lot of wheat, as well as a big dose of alcohol up front. I also get some pepper notes, as well as a very light amount of whiskey and some Belgian yeast. The oak is very strong in the beer and really is what this beer is all about, which I guess you can expect given the beer's name. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Glad I got to try this one.

Pour from the bottle. A lot going on in the aroma and taste of this beer. Oaky, estery, with a balance of sweet cooked Flavors melded nicely with a vanilla bourbon character that is a little more than subtle but not at all overpowering. Nice finish and very well executed blended beer.
